A severe fuel shortage has gripped Dhaka and surrounding areas as petrol pumps remain closed during the Eid holidays. Due to the lack of fuel supply from depots, almost all stations have displayed notices reading 'closed' or 'no fuel'. Only the army-owned Trust Fuel Station near Bijoy Sarani was operational, leading to long queues stretching from the Cantonment Third Gate to the Mohakhali Flyover.
Across key city areas including Tejgaon, Mohakhali, and Khilkhet, petrol pumps were closed, with only CNG refueling available at some locations. Many residents who ventured out for Eid travel or essential work returned home frustrated after failing to find fuel. Some vehicles ran out of fuel entirely, forcing passengers to push them to their destinations.
The ongoing shortage has disrupted Eid travel plans and raised concerns about post-holiday transportation. With diesel supply uncertain, authorities fear a potential halt in bus operations, leaving millions who traveled to villages for Eid unsure if they will find transport back to the city.
